Empowering Your Procurement Endeavors with a Vast Array of Essential Resources, Including Strategic Minerals, to Drive and Enhance Your Operations.
Rare Earth Metals
Rare earth metals are a group of 17 elements that are found in low concentrations in the ground, but they are abundant in the Earth’s crust. The reason they are called rare earth metals is because they are difficult to extract and process, which makes them expensive.
Collectively, we have a diverse range of supply options for the 17 rare earth elements. This includes sourcing from a variety of countries, and offering a variety of supply solutions to meet the needs of our customers.
50 Strategic Minerals
We offer a wide range of supply solutions for over 50 Strategic Minerals and Rare Earth Elements. We find resources through innovative survey methods, extract with low environmental impact, and work within countries to explore, develop, produce, and refine.
Our solutions meet the needs of customers in automotive, electronics, energy, defense, and medical industries. We are committed to reliable and sustainable supplies, ethical supply chains, and research for efficient extraction and processing.
